Minnesota SF997 amends solar garden regulations to require subscribers to reside in the same county as the solar garden generating facility.

Minnesota SF997 amends the state's solar garden regulations by requiring that subscribers of a community solar garden must reside in the same county as the solar garden generating facility. The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 216B.1641, subdivision 6, to specify that subscribers must be located within the Minnesota service territory of the utility and in the same county where the solar garden is located. This change aims to ensure that subscribers are directly benefiting from the solar energy generated within their county.
